I'm a supervisor in a plywood mill about 3 hours south of you, and we make 1/4" Custom Marine plywood, so if you need any, let me know.
I hope your ply doesn’t flex as much as you, Mr Supervisor! 😎
So cool, people helping people
Enough with the B.s marine grade plywood deal, call it what it is and stop trying to ripe people off, it's just treated wood DUH, you call yourself a supervisor ??? get a real job.
@@claytonbaker5858 Who touched you?

I know it's none of our business but.....yay Chelsea!! Had us worried there. All the best!
I knew it was a troll all along lol.
Agreed!
@@jwalster9412 It wasn't a troll, it was just a joke that flew over everyone's head.
Good to see chelsea is still in the picture! :) I think quite a few of us were weirdly worried about that lol
Nah you just have friends you don’t know at all
man installed a mirror bedhead
what are you talking about?
I'd guess they are married now!
@@gowerski In a recent video they were talking about something on the boat engine engaging and he said ‘I used to be engaged’ or ‘I was engaged once’. Something like that.
quick tip from a fellow boat mangler... er builder. if you cant find small odd bits of marine ply you can use plastic cutting boards from walmart. they come in a variety of thicknesses and are absolutely waterproof. just be sure to give them a couple of layers of glass.
5 years ago you got that . Wow time flys when your having fun . This means I’ve must of been watching for at least 7 years . God bless from Newcastle Australia
damn dawg... why he gotta say the quiet part out loud... i dont wanna know age!
Ive been watching him since.. wait how young was I??
God Bless from Sydney! Been watching since the start of the Lotus rebuild
Literally it's so crazy to see how far he has come. Truly inspiring
Why did the boat sink?
My son and I were passing through Portland on hwy 5 on the 4th of July and I swear I saw this boat parked in the marina. Kinda cool because I liked this series.
B is for Bravo. Absolutely beautiful. And resilience man. It's everything. Just keep building.
Also, paint em. Add some black into that front galley and you're home.
Black brushed aluminum wrap would look cool. With some indirect lighting.
What about brushed steel wrap lol
For a smooth finish when painting with a roller go back over with a brush immediately after rolling. Apply light pressure with just the tip of the bristles. This breaks the surface tension of the paint and let's it lay down.
I look forward to the next episode "30 Year Old Italian Yacht stuck in a tree" the rollercoaster this series has been, while unfortunate, has been a treat to watch
It's called "Mirror Mastic". It looks like liquid nails but it won't remove the coating on the back.
So happy you got it back on the water and looking good. Portland native here and I love to see a local team doing great things.
Can’t read all the comments but from a glazier’s perspective the amount of glue used in the middle was for safety so that god forbid should the mirror break it stays on the wood. Now your whole center can fall onto someone if it breaks.
Indeed.
That makes a lot of sense
Liquid nails will eventually eat thru the mirror backing. They make a mirror glue called mirror mastic just for this.
@@vegas1746 the majority of liquid nails and the backing on mirrors nowadays it’s fine. We will use liquid nails to secure mirrors in frames. But for mirrored walls yes we use mastic.
@@vegas1746 also there is a Gunther’s mirror bond that looks identical to liquid nails that could be what was previously used.
34:18 Chelsea getting lit with that pen 🌲
Instead of watching videos in slow mo, go BUILD something
Better be careful cuz I know operating a boat while doing that ain't legal!!
@@tomislavlulic9330 bet it 10x more fun tho 😂
Getting lit ALL DAY FTMFW. Yup. 👍💪😎🔥👌🌳✅
Thats not Chelsea, Chelsea has red/pinkish hair!
Chris you should suggest to Holley to make a matt finish version of those screen... they're really reflective and might be hard to read in full sun.. (probably not as much of an issue in the dash of a car)
@marklr5716 always an issue photo Matt glass finish would be better. Less glare.
A matte option would be perfect.
Though they make an anti-glare cover/film and some matte black vinyl around the edge could be the DIY solution.
Likely the glass helps protect against the elements
Your vibe is infectious, love watching your content!
There's a couple of things you can try to remove the discolouration on the wall panels. Firstly, any varnish or other coating will have to come off. Then, you could try an oxalic acid solution to remove the stains. You can buy ready-to-use products for use on wood. The other treatment that might work is a "mold and fungas" remover for wood. There may be a fungal element to that stain, although it's more likely to be organic matter suspended in the water that has been absorbed into the wood grain. Oxalic acid should shift that. Give it a go in an inconspicuous spot as a test. I've had good results with both treatments in the past. Hello from Scotland!
The original video on this boat build is how I came across your channel and I have been hooked since. I can’t wait to see the finished product on your pontoon boat. Keep doing great stuff!!!
The boat was a huge shift away from the norm on the channel, and I didn't really think I'd enjoy watching it. But honestly, I've loved every step of it. Great job guys!
I really miss this boat, more videos please 😂😂
I’m relieved to see this boat operating again.
Sometimes you gotta just take a look around and say “maybe I’m not a boat guy.”
I admire your recilence motivation and the fact that give you so much joy to see others having a great time because of you.
Been watching this since day 1. Happy for you and the team! Looking forward to seeing what’s next.
Thank you. Thrilled for you to get that great boat going
Great to see so much detail around these small ish jobs, thanks. All the comments I had have been covered by other posters .
Your smooth sailing from here on out! On every project you do, I wish you the best and much love!
When you announced your new custom pontoon boat, I was scared b is for boat was toast. Glad you restored/resurrected it! This is the spirit of your channel
I'm soooo glad you got to restore the boat! Something going right is a huge win! Can't wait to see what is next!
definitely have made it your own..I do enjoy you explaining of how things work and the logic of the builds.. My fav u tube channel.
wonderful build series! Really enjoyed it!
So proud of your hard work and dedication. Makes it fun to watch. You have an amazing team with you too.
Great job Chris and gang. It's a lovely boat and I enjoy all the content covering all the trials and tribulations associated with it - it was well worth restoring after it sank. Looking forward to more clips in the future doing what it does best.
One last thing...
Rotate the table with the "Riva" logo 90-deg clockwise so the logo is readable while standing in the boat.
It looks great. It's nice to see one of these "Resurrecting a ...." project actually finish.
I'd love to see one last vid with a drone following the boat at WFO across the water.
So awesome. Great build!!
the happy ending we all needed and you deserved! never stop b is for building
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Congratulations on reviving and improving this beautiful old boat ! Well done 👍
You are not wrong. You and your team overcame a LOT to put that boat back on the water. Huge congrats to you all!
I lived in Beaverton back in 1996 and watched the fireworks 🎆 on the water with background music from KOIN.🎉 Thanks for the memory.
Oh I'd make the Saloon walls a shade of grey to match the shutters.😅😊
Learned so much that I didn’t know you could do!!!😮 glass cutting, carpet change with just outlining the old to new and the black material you stapled.. pretty kool… glad it all worked out for you..
Great video Chris. Nice to see the culmination of all the hard work of you, Kyle and Oscar.
Great job. What a fantastic crew you have and an amazing wife too. Enjoy your content and always showing the reality of these projects. Always appreciate your can-do attitude.
Congrats man. Good to see the awesome results
Awesome build. Loved it all. Y'all are so resourceful. Looking forward to completing the houseboat!
Good work to get it back operational again Chris. And also great to see Chelsea again, you had some of us slightly worried there.
someone is about to have some fun with some 3d printers
Hes already using the crealitys for what they are good for.
Yeah Creality K1 MAX, bigboys!
@@Specialedes doorstops!
@@DevinRostron tables lol much like the new sovol also
I think he blurred them because there were shipping tables with the address on them.
BRILLIANT well done chris!!! amazing job from when it sunk!!!
One of the best CZcamsrs i love watching. Thanks guys👍
This is like watching someone try to make a tutorial while trying to learn the same skill on the fly.
I feel like that's the whole point of the channel.
Best way to learn something new: Teach that that something to others.
And I love them for it. Would we think to make an off-road Lamborghini, or take on and win a version of Eleanor, or this boat? It's been awesome watching them grow and learn.
I am alway impressed how y'all will just tackle a mountain of work and creativity make it your own and finish it.
Happy 4th of July!
Loved this B is for Boat series!!
Well done on seeing a project to completion regardless of the setbacks and hurdle. I thoroughly enjoyed this series!
So glad you stuck with it. Often it’s not a destination, but the journey that allows you to enjoy the results.
Great to see you motoring on the waterways. Take some time and enjoy the hard work with your team, friends, family.
You guys did a great job! Looking forward to the pontoon build!
Success comes in interesting packages. You've pulled this off - what a great experience. Thanks
The lack of respirators while sanding and working with the glass is EXTREMELY dangerous. Doesn't take much to ruin your life with that stuff!!
Awesome video, brother!!
The boat looks f’n savage! Fair play, all the hard work has really paid off. Well done to you all! 👏🏻 👌🏻👌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🎉
You're such an inspiration man, keep doing what you do!
The boat looks great! Good work y’all!
Top notch! I love the yacht build!
I LOVE all the builds!! The boat builds are awesome!!
Thanks for bringing back the boat content!
LOVE That Blanket! Looking good buddy!
Awesome job Chris! Love it mate
Really enjoyed following the journey with the boat. She looks awesome
hi guys repaint it wached you the first time rebuilding this boat have a great weekend
Turned out great!
This is why I love watching ya b is for build better love ya may more blessings go your way
Brilliant job as always 💪💪💪💪
So much fun to watch.
It is so good to see the ole yacht back in good order. Happy July 4th weekend.
Great video. Pontoon boat vids crazy but will be interesting. Really enjoyed this vid
Chris, maybe a video on proven ways to prevent catastrophic failures on boats in the freezing winters. I’d be in for watching. Could help other boat owners avoid this situation.
Awesome to see the boat back in action. Great job.
Can't believe it's been 5 years already. I remember when you first got it. Well done to all of you Chris!
"Is this boat safe?"
"Oh absolutely, I am quite sure it won't sink again!"
"Again?"
All jokes aside, I am impressed you actually managed to get her back in the water. And by the looks of it you're well on track to have her in better condition than ever, possibly just a couple months down the road. It wasn't very "B is for Build" when it started, but it certainly is now!
The image at 21:45 reminded me of a very good day. I paid 32 dollars US for a picture of a warehouse ceiling that was "shiny metal" on eBay. Shipping was $1100 to my house which was 4 miles away, so I knew it would be heavy! I paid $1.75 local pickup fee and received 6, 2'X8' sheets of polished brass. After selling them I bought 10 pizzas for the employees at the warehouse.
A good day!
Saved my Saturday!!
Really great work Chris & team💪. Nice to see Chelsea - all of you showing us how to simply keep going. Whatever the situation. Whatever the odds. When you look back on your life Chris. You’ll never regret the boat. You’re not supposed to break even on a boat. But tell that to the smiles. 🤘🤘👏👏
Well happy, knew you'd fix it. 😊
So pleased you managed to get this lovely yacht back to her former glory well done all a B is for Build triumph🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
amazing job looks better than new !!!
What an amazing transformation and accomplishment. She is B is for Beautiful. Always staying positive. Good job all around
Really like this boat. I would paint the walls. Those frames on the cabinet look great!
Thanks for the video!!
It was absolutely soul crushing to see it sink, and it must have been unimaginably worse for you, but I knew bifb could get it done. Big cheers, you guys are amazing.
B is for boat and boats are for sharing. Living the dream mate.
Great work. Great video.
Great Job restoring her. Glad you go to enjoy it with your friends. Happy 4th!
So happy to see you guys got the boat back in ship shape.
VERY good job with this boat! :3 I am beyond happy that you restored the boat and not just throw it out, also I am very proud of you for doing all the work on the boat it looks GREAT! :3
Wow great job guys ❤❤🎉🎉
That's what makes boat ownership great. Those moments out with friends and family.
The lettering from the previous vintage dashboard would’ve been a lovely addition above the Holley screens.. I hope you still have it
You've come a very long way. Congrats!!
Love the videos guys!
My old boat was out on the mooring and I noticed the back end sitting kinda low, so I rowed out and realized it was taking on water pretty quick. I got the pump going and pumped it out and floated it but the engines were unfortunately submerged. Well, they worked a couple of days later, for a bout a week, then that boat was the most trouble I've ever seen. It essentially needed a full re-wire of the engine and body harnessses, computers, starters, alternators, etc.
Good luck lol
That’s what happened to all of the DDay vehicles that passed through 0-3.5 ft of surf. They pretty much all died within two weeks unless a lot of work was done. And all the vehicles had to be new to land safely.
@captiannemo1587 it's especially fun when they go one at a time and your boat never works right again
The boat is looking awesome! As for the wood , you could sand it all and refinish, wrap it with vinyl but you'd lose the amazing wood that highlights an interior or skin the wood with a thin wood veneer and have a great pick of options of wood species.
